Cinderedge Surveys are going out!
Quick update that we have started the test surveys (Known as "The Smoke Test")! And pending any issues with those, everyone should get their survey later this week!
Your BackerKit survey is where we gather any information we need to fulfill your pledge (like your shipping information!) and where you can any any addition add-ons you may want.
Please make sure to double check your pledge on your survey and contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Don't worry - you won't be charged for shipping until closer to the fulfillment date, and you will have time to update your shipping address if that changes over the next few months. We will give plenty of warning before any of that is "Locked" in and before you get charged.
*Please note that if you used the "Pay Over Time" feature your survey will not be sent until your final payment has gone through.
Cinderedge Digital Edition
The Cinderedge PDFs will be distributed after all surveys have gone out.
PAX Unplugged
This weekend the QuasiReal Publishing team will be at PAX Unplugged. We are at Booth 3662, stop by and say hello!

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for all of your support. I'm very excited to see Cinderedge do so well. There isn't much to share, but I just wanted to let you know what's next:
Survey Development
The first matter of business is developing the survey. This is your chance to customize and confirm your pledge. Keep an eye on your email for a message from Backerkit! The quicker you fill this out the quicker I can get you your PDF.
PDF Delivery
The digital edition, sans stretch goals, will be distributed via DTRPG as soon as the surveys are done. This is the complete, play-ready Cinderedge, only missing some bonus appendix content. Totally sufficient to die alone in a fire with.
PAX U
I will be at PAX U with a couple of sample copies if you'd like to say hello or thumb through! Booth: 3662
Timeline
I am aiming to have the stretch goal content finished this month, and production started before the end of the year. As you can see I've set safe estimates that allow for a couple hiccups. My goal is to have everything to you all early, but the world of manufacturing and shipping has been difficult to predict the last year or two, so no promises, just my best effort =)
🖊️ November '25 - Stretch Goal Development Complete 💯 December '25 - Samples Approved, Production Starts 🛠️ March '26 - Production Completed 🛥️ May '26 - All Goods Received 📦June '26 - Fulfillment Complete
Thanks, everyone! I will update next in December

The End is Here
This is the final stretch! Cinderedge ends at Midnight on Halloween.
Thanks, everyone, for all the incredible support. We surpassed my goals and expectations for Cinderedge and unlocked every stretch goal:
Bookmark Ribbon for the hardcover
Short Story of the First Ward Keeper
Gilded Edges for the hardcover
New co-op prompts, so you can now die alone, together
+50 Pages on the journal & upgraded interior pages
OST Expansion, +5 Mood Tracks
New Reviews!
Reviewers have loved Cinderedge. I was honestly surprised that I didn't wind up with any negative reviews. Something so niche, terrible, and edgy I thought would be bound to have a few haters.
But seriously, thank everyone who took the time to make a video or write an article about Cinderedge. It meant a lot to me. You were all very easy to work with, provided some excellent feedback, and heck, I think I made a couple new friends.
The three final reviews I have to post are from Geek Peek, Squirrel Plays, and a written article from Pixigonal.

New Stretch Goals
Hey everyone, I have decided not to do any new stretch goals for Cinderedge. I am mainly hyper-aware of turnaround and shipping times, which leads me to think adding more content isn't the best idea. I am, of course, watching tariff news and want to be careful about adding costs with book upgrades. We're all good as of now, let's keep it that way instead of pushing our luck.
And boy howdy, there's nothing that gets you in the mood to play a game about trying to take care of yourself while the world burns, then watching the news about tariffs while trying to independently make games.
That said, I really believe in the project as it exists now, and I'm really happy with the stretch goals we unlocked, so in a very atypical Grant move (IYKYK), I am just going to let this one exist and be happy with what we accomplished together.
Thank you all so much for backing the project. We have exceeded my goals for this and unlocked everything I wanted to do. Hope you have a beautiful autumn and spooky season!
New Reviews
We have some new reviews, takes, and peeks into Cinderedge. Check them out! Huge thanks to Cozy RPGs (I could listen to this voice ALL DAY) and Dave for checking the game out.
🔥 All Stretch Goals Unlocked

Well...That's it. That's the campaign. You unlocked all my stretch goals in 2 days 😅. Book upgrades, Journal Upgrade, Soundtrack upgrade...Thank you. I am going to take the weekend and perhaps come back with some new ideas, but I want to make sure I don't do additions that would delay my production schedule.
